If you’re planning a wedding, you’ve probably heard that your invitations provide the first glimpse of what your wedding is all about.

That’s right; your invitations can introduce the theme, style, and tone of your event. This is why your selection is so important; it gives your guests a preview of things to come.

Perhaps you’ve decided to hold a traditional wedding. You can easily announce this to your guests by the type of invitation you send. Traditional invitations typically are elegant-looking with a classic, clean design that often includes a border. Paper colors are usually white, ivory, or ecru.

The invitation wording tends to be more formal as well as the font selection. It’s not uncommon to see script-like or serif fonts gracing a traditional invitation.

If you’re dreaming of a traditional wedding, you may want to consider the sophisticated and understated traditional wedding invitations that LCI Paper offers. Refined and elegant, one of our ensembles might be just right for you.

Not every bride envisions having a traditional wedding though. And that’s okay because LCI has options for those with more contemporary tastes.

Our Subtle Reaction invitation kits have a modern look and announce to guests that yours is not a traditional wedding. The same goes for our brightly colored Vellum Petals kits. The rounded edges of the vellum wraps wonderfully complement the square invitation held inside. The soft chiffon bow that keeps everything together adds a lovely finishing touch.

Vellum Petals Invitation Kits

Unlike traditional invitations, contemporary invitations have more of an “anything goes” design. These invitations are boldly colored and come in different shapes and sizes.

Invitation wording is frequently less formal as well as the fonts used for printing. If you’re looking to make a statement or let your personality shine through, this type of invitation may be for you.
